I created this plugin based on material from the Jetpack, Audio Player, and ImageEXIF plugins. I also used the Zend Media Framework.

I wrote it to scratch a personal itch: I handle a lot of media on a couple of sites I manage; we routinely publish audio and image files. Copying metadata from the files to WordPress is a nuisance, and this plugin is designed to remove that nuisance.

The plugin’s purpose is to integrate the fancy metadata that lives in modern media files with WordPress’s attachment metadata, so as to automatically populate the title and caption fields.

Version 0.9.0 is an early release. If you use it I hope you’ll send me any media files that aren’t interpreted properly: it’s impossible for an independent developer to have very many makes and models of camera, recorder, and media software.
